Powering Language Data is the theme of the TAUS Conference 2020. Data is responsible for a fundamental shift in the translation industry from a hierarchical labor cost-based economic model to a flat free-machines model. The speed with which the machines are improving when fed with the right quality and volumes of data turns translation into a near-zero marginal cost type of business.

At the TAUS conference in San Jose, we introduce the new theme of World-Readiness. Thanks to the power of data we can – for the first time – scale our localization business quite easily, add dozens or hundreds of new languages and set goals like reaching a billion new users and the last customer on this planet. The globalization chiefs of big tech companies, as well as start-ups, come to the TAUS conference to discuss their visions and strategies of World-Readiness.
